We always hear good things about Millie’s Diner (They serve lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday), Mama J’s Kitchen (Soul Food), Stella’s (Greek), Secret Sandwich Society (what you can expect…sandwiches!) and more.
Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind:
Depending on the type of dental appointment you had and the severity of dental work you had completed (if any), this should very well play a large role in the selection of where you choose to eat following your appointment! For example, if you only had a cleaning with the dental hygienist your food restrictions would not be limited at all aside from waiting 30 minutes if you had fluoride put on as opposed to if you had an extraction done. For a patient who just received an extraction, it’s important to stick to a soft diet for 24 hours immediately following. You don’t want to add any more traumas to the mouth by chewing on hard or tough foods. If a root canal or large amount of fillings were completed, just be mindful that you still may be numb or that your mouth may be sore from chewing so soups or smoothies are a good option for these scenarios.
